DESCRIPTION FROM UPSTREAM:
Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Writer and type some text. 2. Use find and replace to do a "replace all" 3. Use Accerciser to examine the resulting results dialog (where it says Search key replaced x times.") Expected results: There would not be any object with ROLE_TEXT. Actual results: The accessible object containing the string "Search key replaced 8 times" has ROLE_TEXT. Impact: Orca does not present the results string because ROLE_TEXT is typically used for GtkTextView (e.g. the entire text widget in Gedit, which is GNOME's Notepad equivalent). For static text in dialogs, ROLE_LABEL is traditionally used. There has admittedly been some confusion about what ROLE_TEXT is applicable to. We have done a couple of things in this regard: 1) Clarified this in the ATK documentation and 2) Created a new role (ATK_ROLE_STATIC). [1] It would be very helpful if you could either use the new ATK_ROLE_STATIC (introduced in ATK v2.15.2) or the very old ATK_ROLE_LABEL to be consistent with our platform's usage of ROLE_TEXT. On a related note, apparently IA2 has a text frame role which is appropriate for things like static text in a dialog. The IA2 text frame role in most -- if not all -- cases is NOT the same as ATK_ROLE_TEXT. Thus if the reason ROLE_TEXT was used was because of this presumed equivalency, then it would probably be worth doing a thorough search and correction for ATK.
